Have you ever experienced strange 'bugs' dancing in front of your eyes while looking at something?
You might not believe it, but 76 percent of sighted people experience what are called floaters.
In this experiment, a small insect-like structure is seen moving in front of the eyes.
Many times this happens when you look at something bright and consistent or smooth like the sky, snow, or a white screen for a while.It is called Muscae volitantes or flying flies in scientific language but these 'bugs' are not a trick of your eyes they are actually present and moving inside the eyes.
The front of your eye is the cornea and behind it is the thin layer of the aqueous humor, which is basically a small collection of fluid that contains tissue, red blood cells, or protein particles.It is the gel-like fluid between the lens and the retina.
Light enters the eye through the lens and activates specific cells in the retina.
During this process, many times the particles or flying flies present in the gel-like fluid cast a shadow on the retina.By doing this strange insect-like images appear before our eyes.
Usually, this is not a major problem and there is no need to worry as these 'bugs' disappear after a few seconds.
